BioPonic’s……..From bubbler’s to Bio-Buckets
First off major kudo’s to Big Toke and HurtBack…….HB for creating the original system designed for 1 to 6 buckets…….and BT for taking it to the next step……..6 buckets or 60 buckets Gentlemen my hat is off to the both of you …….. I have followed Big Tokes directions step by step, I’ve studied HB’s system…plus have read and study my a*s off…….so now come take a look at what I’ve been doing and see why I’m doing it….. plus what I have yet to do…….. MY Goals: Try and grow as organically as I can……via hydro Grow enough so I don’t have to grow again for at least 6 to 12 months…..hopefully 3 pounds from 2800 watts….14 5gal bio-buckets Perform NO res change outs Learn…learn….learn…. OK so here we go………intro: The system will be 100% organic….we will being using 14 5gal buckets…….8 inch net pots with Lava Rock and sump pump hose to provide a home for the Beneficial Bacteria {BB}…..by changing the solution in each bucket completely 7 – 10 times / hour…this fast moving current will help eliminate any dead spots where the bad bacteria could grow…..while supplying a constant fresh supply of oxygen to the plants…..all buckets tied to a central reservoir which is being oxygenated by the returning nute’s via a one foot waterfall into the reservoir…….I must say that I am amazed at the high concentration of DO in the water…..this is a simple system for a simple man
I will be using FloraNova grow and bloom and nothing else……if all works as it should I will do NO reservoir changes and have hopes of trying to get 2 grows out of one filling……don’t know if it will work….but we will see……
Under construction
This is a current pic of where I am at in my new build....I also built a whole new grow room just for this system.....I've been doing the Pepetual harvest thing for over a year now and I an tired of it.....think I might get enough to take a few months off from growing??
